Financing:
What’s Your
Vulnerability
Quotient
?
By Mary McVicker
e all know that debt, with its
demands on cash flow, can
make your business vulnerable. But your potential vulnerability may
include aspects other than the repayment
factor. The type of financing and its structure can affect your business’s
vulnerability quotient as well.
W
Financing operations
Recently, the Wall Street Journal reported on how businesses finance their
operations. [Statistics from the Small
Business Administration]. The results varied. What was surprising with some of
these “financing” sources was the amount
of potential vulnerability they carry. In
some instances the vulnerability affected
not only the business but carried over to
personal assets as well.
Several of these, notably mortgage and
personal credit card, put personal assets –
and possibly a household – at risk. The vulnerability quotient for this type of
Types of funding and the percentage of businesses that tap into them
to finance operations:
Personal credit card
46 percent
Business credit card
34 percent
Line of credit
28 percent
Vehicle loan
21 percent
Loan from owner to
business
14 percent
Mortgage
13 percent
(Note: a business may tap into more
than one.)

If a business loan isn’t possible, you might consider applying for a personal loan instead. But such loans are often unsecured and thus carry much higher interest rates.
financing is very high. And while it’s easy
to think that the “loan” or financing can be
paid back, the high number of business
bankruptcies in which financing is a factor
gives testimony to the fact that repayment
doesn’t always go as planned.
A solid credit rating isn't always enough.
Sometimes a bank requires an insurance
package to cover their position in the event
of a default or loss.
Vulnerability quotient – moderate.
What about the vulnerability quotient of
several other sources of financing?
Business bank loans: Banks are often the
lender of choice, with lower rates and a tradition that gives the extending of a loan an
aura of “approval” to the business.
Generally, banks view smaller businesses
as being bigger credit risks than larger
businesses. Businesses with one to four
employees are viewed as particularly susceptible. Bank lenders look for a track
record when considering a loan, and new
or relatively new companies are less likely
to get a loan – a reflection of the
“approval” aspect surrounding a bank loan.
The classic “Five Cs” still are a factor in
loans: character, capacity (financial
strength), capital, collateral and conditions,
such as the particular industry or economy.

Loans from suppliers are very common, especially in seasonal businesses, and often the arrangement continues
for years with no problem.

Personal bank loans: If a business loan
isn’t possible, the owner often can get a
personal loan instead of a business loan.
Such loans are often unsecured and thus
carry much higher interest rates. An unsecured, personal loan changes the
vulnerability quotient substantially.
However, until the business can establish
itself (and the track record the bank wants
to see), this may be the way to go. If the
loan is repaid in a timely fashion, the business will be further along and have begun a
financial track record. Also, although the
loan was made to the owner and not to the
business, having a successful loan is
always a point to consider.
Potential vulnerability – high.
Relatives: Many, many small businesses
are financed by relatives. This is undoubtedly the trickiest form of financing of all,
for a variety of reasons. First, it tends not to
be handled in a business-like manner, with
interest, terms in writing, contingencies
agreed upon, adequate consideration –
spelled out – of the tax consequences, and
a full statement of the consequences of
default. When two particles are related,
everything needs to be “arms length” and
then some. It must be very clearly a loan.
There can be no implications of it being a
gift. Among other problems, when more
than $10,000 a year is gifted the transaction
triggers a gift tax for the donor. Write it all
out. Get a third party to mediate and draft
the agreement. It’s better to go overboard
on formality than to miss a critical factor.
The importance of formal terms and agreements cannot be overstated. Too often, the
family factor complicates matters. Family
tensions can run high, especially if everyone is aware that the business is struggling.
There’s usually a “meddle factor” to contend with as well.
Potential vulnerability quotient – very
high.
Plastic: Experts may consider this the
last resort for financing a business, but it’s
one that’s used frequently. This financing is
easy to get; who among us isn’t deluged
with pre-approved credit card applications
with high limits? Plastic is also easy to use:
no paperwork, no waiting. Using plastic
for operational expenses isn’t so bad if you

can pay off the balance every month. In
those cases there’s usually a matter of timing involved; the money doesn’t come into
the business when you need it. But as long
as it comes in and can be used to pay off
the credit card balance, plastic financing
can get the business over the timing hump,
until cash flow increases and evens out.
However, plastic shouldn’t be used for big
expenses. The high level of debt can cripple or destroy a business. Search out other
financing options for big expenses, such as
family loans or second mortgages. The bottom line is to keep card use limited (get one
with a low limit and resist or refuse
increases) and pay more than the minimum.
Potential vulnerability quotient – high with
a business credit card; very high if a personal credit card is used.

Mortgages: Mortgages (which include
second mortgages or lines of credit) can be
a tempting source of financing. They’re
relatively easy to get. Many new businesses finance their startup with funds from a
mortgage, and more than one business has
been bailed out the same way.
Conventional wisdom says you shouldn’t
mix personal finances with business
finances, and that applies to financing business activities with personal assets. There
is a considerable risk of losing personal
assets. Don’t ignore the vulnerability quotient on this one.
Potential vulnerability quotient - high to
very high.
Giving up equity: The notion of finding
an investor who will provide needed funds
has a certain appeal. With no debt
involved, repayment isn’t an issue. But
there’s a big difference between lenders
and investors. Investors almost always
want a piece of the action. Otherwise, why
invest? When times are good, relations
with investors usually are fairly smooth as
well. But this can turn sour very quickly
when times get tight. The meddle factor,
which may have been quiescent when
things were going well, suddenly gets
active. From the viewpoint of the business
owner, the ideal is to sell the least equity
possible in order to retain the most ownership. On the other side, the investor wants

a considerable amount of return for his
money. While the negotiations and initial
agreement may be amicable, the participants are on opposite sides of the table. If
giving up equity seems like the best
avenue, give careful thought to the issues
of how much money you need, what type
of investors you will bring in, whether you
already have partners and how this will
affect those relationships. Consider carefully the fact that, unlike a loan that fades
into the past once it’s repaid, this is a permanent change for the business. Balance
the utility of the arrangement with the
degree of vulnerability it will bring to the
business. And be prepared for the meddle
factor.
Potential vulnerability quotient - high.

The new Discone™ DC-50 features the same 21% - 63%
efficiency advantage of all Cone-Head® drums. Dynamic
Manufacturing has combined the advantages of a disc
chipper (flywheel inertia and discharge capability) with the
Cone-Head chipper drum. The result is a machine that
performs like both a disc and a Cone-Head drum.

Dynamic Manufacturing has taken its patented, hourglass
shaped cone cutting system, cut it in half and joined it with a
modified 42” diameter disc. Four large paddles are mounted
on the side of the disc. This combination creates enhanced
flywheel type inertia and strong discharge of all types of
material. The 15” x 17” chipper opening handles material
with ease and is fed with a 15” diameter hydraulic powered
feedwheel. Extra feedwheel down pressure, auto feed and
many other options are available. The Discone DC-50
provides the unique cutting angle available only with the
patented Cone-Head drum.

satisfaction. It’s part of how the two parties do business. But what if something
changes? Over the past few years, many
suppliers have fallen on hard times, with
the result that they were no longer able to
carry the business’s bills for a period of
time. Carrying balances with suppliers
may be a “we’ve always done it that
way” situation, but don’t overlook the
potential for vulnerability.
Potential vulnerability quotient - moderate
to high.
Changing financing arrangements
Please circle 107 on Reader Service Card
Managing debt involves far more than
arrangement for timely repayments. A debt
can be shifted or transferred into another
form of debt. Payment structures can be
changed. Another form of debt may carry a
lower interest rate than the existing debt.
Other vulnerability issues, such as family presence or unwelcome input of
“partners” or investors may be addressed
by changing the form of debt, or, in a more
drastic situation, changing the structure of
the business.
The point is that debt may be a fixed
obligation, but the nature of the debt, its
attributes, conditions, terms, advantages
and disadvantages, may not be fixed.

If you do decide that changing the debt
structure may have some advantages for
you and your business, keep in mind that
you made need some expert help making
the decision and carrying out the change.
Changing from a higher-interest credit
card debt to one with lower interest doesn’t require a lot of expertise. But what
about other possible options for that
higher interest credit card debt? Should
you be considering turning it into a different form of debt entirely? What are
the possibilities? At that point you probably need some financial expertise. Debt
structure can be complicated, and the
options can be bewildering.

Financial advisers and counselors
abound. Where do you start? The best
starting point is probably your bank, or a
banker you know. Most professionals in
the area of financial counseling have a
product to sell. The bank is no exception,
but typically theirs is a softer sell, and
they’re more willing to really look at the
complete picture of your business and
debt. And, although you may decide not to
pursue their suggestions, you will have a
standard for comparison when you decide
to look elsewhere.

Debt is definitely the unwanted guest –
demanding and too often overstaying any
welcome (or usefulness). In dealing with
debt, consider the vulnerability quotient of
your current debt structure. If it’s acceptable to your resources, your comfort zone,
and that of your business, your debt tem-

plate may be well suited for you and your
business. But if you see a vulnerability
quotient that doesn’t suit the circumstances, you should look into changing the
pattern of debt to something that fits not
only your comfort zone, but also protects
your business from unforeseen and
unwanted changes.
Mary McVicker is a syndicated business
writer from Oak Park, Ill.
Giving up equity – The notion of finding an investor who will provide needed funds has a certain appeal. With no debt
involved, repayment isn’t an issue. But there’s a big difference between lenders and investors. Investors almost always
want a piece of the action. Otherwise, why invest?

We have yet to meet a foot we couldn’t fit. By today’s standards, it
seems a dated philosophy. But when you make shoes to fit a foot instead
of a quota, the way you go about it is decidedly different. Unlike other
shoemakers, we build more than one hundred different combinations
of sizes and widths, so our shoes match the unique shape of each foot.
The result is an unrivaled level of fit. And comfort that lasts all day.
So, whether you’re a size 4B or a size 18D, Red Wings are built to fit.
Wear a hard hat or they may outlast you. A machine simply
can’t do what we do. We hand stitch our leathers. Engineer our soles
and other materials to the specific jobs of our customers. Attach
soles to uppers with sturdy thread, not just glue. We do this and more
not because it’s cheaper, but because it’s better. Ask a man framing
a house. A woman on a road crew. They’ll tell you our shoes are
built to last. See our shoes and find a store at redwingshoes.com.
